IRON WILL OUTFITTERS

Backcountry Bulls and an Iron Will

Join this two-man team from Iron Will Outfitters as they hike deep into the backcountry, miles from the nearest road, in pursuit of big elk herds—and no other hunters. The stunning, untamed landscape sets the stage, but it’s the raw challenge of hunting elk on their turf that defines the experience. With minimal pressure from other hunters, cow calls and bugles echo through the mountains as elk hundreds are spotted. But don’t mistake numbers for easy. This film captures the relentless grind of bowhunting—where every challenge must be met head-on, and only those willing to outwork, outlast, and endure will find success.
